2009 Nissan Note 1.5L Diesel · AK09 CDN

The 2009 Nissan Note presents as roadworthy with a stable maintenance trend. The most recent test on 23 June 2025 at 159,303 miles returned a pass with no defects recorded, following an anomalous same-day failure on 23 June 2025 at identical mileage where the tester logged no defects, indicating an administrative rejection rather than a mechanical fault. Prior annual tests in July 2024, July 2023, and July 2022 all passed cleanly with no advisories, showing no worsening pattern across the recorded period. The odometer reads 159,303 miles against an age of roughly 17 years, equating to about 9,371 miles per year, which sits within typical use for a vehicle of this class. The records show steady accumulation: 146,107 miles in July 2022, 150,576 in July 2023, 155,677 in July 2024, and 159,303 by June 2025. No gaps or sudden mileage spikes appear. The DVSA data is sparse on fault detail, with every test either clean or defect-free, so the history offers little evidence of neglected consumables or deferred repairs. A buyer should still commission a physical inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, and brake discs given the car's mileage and age, as these components wear without always triggering MOT advisories at test. Structural corrosion around sills and subframes warrants close checking, particularly where road salt exposure may have occurred over 17 years. The clean record implies previous owners kept basic upkeep current, but high-mileage Nissans of this era commonly develop worn steering rack gaiters and tired dampers not captured by a pass result. Verify the June 2025 failure was purely procedural by obtaining the full DVSA test certificate, since a same-day fail-pass at matching mileage can mask an omitted defect category. Otherwise, the Note's documented history supports a sound used purchase pending hands-on verification of mechanical wear points.
